""The drop in Obama's support is fueled by a dramatic 17-point
decline over the past month among people under 30, who, along with black
Americans, had been the most loyal part of the Obama coalition," says Keating
Holland, polling director for CNN. "It is clear that revelations about NSA
surveillance programs have damaged Obama's standing with the public, although
older controversies like the IRS matter may have begun to take their toll as
well."
The survey, released Monday, also shows that 50 percent of Americans say they
don't believe Obama is "honest and trustworthy," for the first time in his
presidency, according to CNN. His personal trustworthiness was a measure that
shined during his re-election campaign, where he continually outperformed
Republican presidential opponent Mitt Romney, bolstering his position despite a
struggling economy.""
The problem with losing your honesty is that it's hard to get it back!
First, President Obama has only himself to blame here. He has chosen to be the "no drama obama" but the country could use a little anger, specially on the IRS scandal.
By the way, a "growing" number of people now believe that senior White House officials were involved! This is very bad!
Second, he won't speak candidly about the Bush policies that he continued.
Sadly, he is put himself in a no-win situation because I think a lot of people would probably give him a little credit for admitting that he was wrong during the campaign. I would! There is nothing more refreshing than to hear an executive say that "new information" led him to change his mind!
Third, he won't get in front of stories, such as Syria. He desperately needs to address the nation about Syria but chooses to let others do the talking.
Maybe he will turn this around but time is running out very quickly!
